Roadtripping Sicily

It was tempting to stay at the villa and relax but Frank and I wanted to see more of Sicily. We dropped Andy and Shannon at the airport and exchanged our monster vehicle for a little Audi. What a treat! Hairpin curves were now fun, not nerve wrenching. Armed with a map and notes of places that looked interesting, we set off on our adventure. We had no specific agenda or hotel reservations. We’d figure out where to sleep when we felt like stopping . . .

First order of business — smaller car.

Our route.

Siracusa on the sea was one of the most important of the ancient Greek cities in Sicily.

The remains of the Temple of Apollo are an example of its classical past.
